This is the proper way to negotiate. Most people don't do it while they have a job, only when they want one, and it puts them at a serious disadvantage.

- SkyPuncher 5y agoThe flip side is it will often get you dropped out of most interview funnels since you're likely to be a waste of time.
- sillysaurusx 5y agoQuite the opposite. Companies fight that much harder to get a candidate they know is valuable.
- isbvhodnvemrwvn 5y agoThat's true, if you have something to show for your value. You do sometimes get candidates who are very full of themselves but whose record track is not impressive, trying to use their confidence to skip past the interviews.

When I realized that my personal 'runway' was running out, I didn't really have too many weeks to go through interview cycles with lots of companies. I didn't change how I interviewed and it payed off.
